Saigon Sisters

Sister Act

Vietnamese Sandwiches Under the “L”

Berghoff for a schnitzel. Billy Goat for a burger. Your office for a schnitzel burger.

But maybe your standbys need their own standby. So meet Saigon Sisters, a new option for a quick
afternoon lunch of Wagyu beef and duck confit Vietnamese sandwiches, opening this Friday in the Loop.

If the names of these particular sisters ring a bell, it’s because they already have a kiosk in the
Chicago French Market. But now they’ve taken things to a more relaxing atmosphere... you know, like
under the Lake Street
“L.”

So say you’re running short on time before a meeting with your finance guy about a surefire investment
(Bears by 7 against the Giants). You’ll swing in for something simple and straightforward—like A Sun
Tanned Cow (coconut milk-braised Wagyu beef with kaffir lime and a baguette) or maybe The
Porky (braised pork belly, hoisin glaze, mayo). (Okay, straightforward-ish.)

But since this space isn’t your usual sub shop, you might feel like sticking around. There are impossibly
high ceilings. Avec-worthy walnut-paneled seating, with panoramic views of the city (only the best
part—that part under the train tracks). And once the liquor license comes through, there’s that lineup
of sturdy Asian beers and even a few selections of champagne on the menu.

Just in case you feel like celebrating making it through another lunch.
